Don't Panic

and i call this kinda donelol. will later work on the detail to some controls, but need to rebase my army and paint line of sight sooo yea good enough for now

today i played against will thompson and some USA for antenna field. i wanted to test a list out and honestly id never bring this list against USA for mannnny reasons, but testing it against something it wont excel against was probably a good way to get a feel for it! This is my new asura list(it lacks guided ML/FO shenanigans which stinks but is pretty fun). he is a pretty decent player and is the local warcor here running the event next weekend. VERY good painter as well! Think he says he plays USA right now but use to play pan-o/NCA as his first love and will be playing Yu Jing in the near future. This is my list ill be taking I think: ALEPH ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 110 NETROD . (0 | 4) NETROD . (0 | 4) SCYLLA Hacker (Killer Hacking Device UPGRADE: Maestro) Boarding Shotgun, Nanopulser + 1 Devabot Charybdis / Pistol, E/M CC Weapon. (0.5 | 27) DEVABOT CARIBDIS Heavy Flamethrower / Electric Pulse. (7) SOPHOTECT Combi Rifle, D-Charges / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 31) PROXY Mk.5 (Forward Observer) 2 Submachine Guns, Nanopulser, E/M Grenades / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 10) ASURA Lieutenant Hacker (Hacking Device Plus UPGRADE: Redrum) Combi Rifle, Nanopulser / Pistol, AP CCW. (0.5 | 72) PROXY Mk.4 Heavy Rocket Launcher, Submachine Gun, Nanopulser / Pistol, Knife. (2 | 20) ZAYIN Rebot HMG / Electric Pulse. (1 | 26) YUDBOT Electric Pulse. (0 | 3) NAGA Hacker (Killer Hacking Device) Combi Rifle, Antipersonnel Mines / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 30) PROXY Mk.2 Hacker (Assault Hacking Device) Boarding Shotgun, Nanopulser / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 21) LAMEDH Rebot Flash Pulse, Sniffer / Electric Pulse. (0 | 8) MYRMIDON Chain Rifle, Nanopulser, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, AP CCW. (0 | 16) GROUP 21 GARUDA Tacbot Spitfire / Electric Pulse. (1.5 | 28) 6 SWC | 300 Points Open in Infinity Army As I said before, it's a very unusual list for me. Not bringing max nagas pains me a bit but its kinda a fun list. Two ARO machines in the HRL proxy and the zayin. The thing I like is its a big toolbox list with the asura. Being able to white noise MSV troops is pretty nice and its honestly how I dealt with the MSV1 marauder HRL so easily. Obviously the big scare is anything that can just murder the asura very fast(shinobu, drop troops, KHD etc) which is why you have to protect her quite a bit. Reason why I went so hacker heavy is the mission I want to play this in is transmission matrix and show people that bringing a hacker Lt isnt the dumbest thing on earth you could do which is everyone's overexaggeration of the mission :P . obviously something that oblivions her would suck quite a bit but with her having red rum(puts them at a -3 WIP v her WIP15 on b1) along with 2 other KHD on the table, one being scylla who has maestro, I dont think anything will even try to hack her as the risk is definitely in her favor. Zayin and Garuda coming on and having very easy access to supportware across the board is very enticing. Obviously the negative there is AHD/HD but those would be first to go anyways. The list is quite situational, but it worked very well against USA who have no hackables so it cant be horrible when there's good targets out there! I won roll took deployment and he made me go first(smart...). Quick summary is I took out the HRL marauder first, then had some shots with the HRL proxy to kill a dozer. shuffled and suppression. He struggled to punch me on his turn and lost his remaining 2 marauder haris but got the naga. also lost his desperado and unknown ranger to the proxy HRL. I then brought on the garuda near his grunt team. Then ran up scylla to try and take out 3 of his grunts but settled for 2 before losing scylla. had mk2 in scoring position in middle entire time which he struggled to displace and won me both first 2 rounds. I put him into retreat but we looked it up and scenerio doesnt do retreat so we marched on! I killed a foxtrot with asura but ate orders because he kept critting lol. then marched sophie up to doc and engineer the HVT. He got both his on his last turn and managed to kill sophie and garuda as well as mk2 to score the middle. ended up being 8-6 due to a heroic stand by the USA in the end! Like the list. curious how it will actually do though against a hacking army though!

just dont roll like exile does for his drop bears haha!

:( sorry man. emily is still job hunting here... i dont miss it. hopefully the storm clouds blow over soon!

Yup that's correct. I still can't figure out how to c and p on this new phone but I guess it was a bit presumptuous to assume saying on the TDT website where to find it :)

Update: playing in a huge tournament in a week in Iowa city. 5 round and 36 people. Yeeea Midwest people travel :p . The scenarios are safe area, transmission matrix, engineer deck, supplies and highly classified. Am going to bring my pretty typical list except double dasyu and hrl proxy mk4. Recently have kinda like the hrl a lot! And I just finished painting dasyu hacker so I want to bring her haha. For other list it will be weird and not typical of me but will be bringing an asura hacker along with Sophie and a garuda spitfire. Trying some new tricks with that one. My goal is to learn how to play asura correctly the rest of the year as I tend to struggle with her... hopefully get the stage done and I'll post pics whenever that occurs haha. Hope all is well with everyone!

Some of you already saw some protos of it in my 'tub of doom' but looks like the final versions are finally being released! Check out on the website. Think this week it's mk1! It's obviously similar to the other but the new designs have a ton of unique detail and there's a hole in the top with acrylic option I believe although NP can confirm that! Side note I bought a stage before I left and have been assembling it past few days. I highly encourage some of you to grab one someday as it's super well put together and looks baller even with my lack of skills haha

Dude you're gonna love them. I really love their unique feel and also think they are quite powerful once mastered.

Damn... Wife's bday again. Now that I live to the distance that I can't make it up with dinner I might be passing next year. Grumble..

he was a beloved iowa alum :( one of a kind.

isnt the first time ive heard of issues with bandua... but yours might be the worst ive heard. sorry man.

unfortunately no one showed interest besides peanut and threejacks when i was starting a league back almost 8 months ago. i gave up tbh. great game but just no interest really in this area which is unfortunate as there's a lot more interest farther east ive heard....

damn now if matt is going and i still lived here... 'sigh'

Welp, played probably my final game of infinity here. Got a game in on Beerfinity for the first time hahaha. Nate Kapke and I decided to play engineering deck. One last showdown and I decided to give him my A-list which was MARRRRRUUUUUUUUT. Honestly, probably not the best for this mission but [big bad swear word] IT. He had a lot of his usual shenanigans. Moran FO, 4 morlocks, intruder hmg, bandit KHD, zero AHD, zero deployable repeater/ADH launcher?, moira sniper, ugh i forget their names but the MSV1 BS13 missile launcher dude, wildcat doc and the obvious interventor Lt lol. I had marut, couple rods, couple chain myrms, double nagas one with KHD, my usual proxy girl setup, KHD scylla. I won roll and took a side to make him deploy everything first. he took first turn. he ran 2 morlocks at one netrod killing it with pistol shots. then the other netrod was a machine shrugging off a few pistols(until 3rd turn) by the same morlock each turn. I had things setup specifically to give my myrms reactions to smoke on top of the marut whenever his sniper popped up so he decided not to do that lol. instead he decide to barricade the back end of the objective room with an E/mauler, mine and... deployable repeater. I know why he put the deployable repeater there to negate marut and hackers from going in or near the objective room along with the emauler, but the deployable repeater gave me a lightbulb... my first turn i ran scylla and bot up to kill 2 morlocks and failed to do it. then switched gears into my naga KHD to open the door to objective room. Then ran within repeater range. I kinnnnnda regret this lol. well the naga gets 3 aros. one from the AHD zero, 1 from KHD bandit and 1 from the interventor. i decide to trinity putting b2 into the interventor and 1 into the bandit. interventor crits me 'sigh'. do get the bandit i think though... but very dead naga as fails the DT from sucker punch. switch gears to scylla. knock AHD unconcsoious with maestro, then with last order i maestro the interventor through the repeater and knock it unconscious. scylla takes a shot though from the zero and falls down. worth it. his second turn: in loss of Lt. He burns the rest of his CT to move his dak's helper to get to the downed AHD zero. takes a shot with the ML and crits the marut. lucky for me she is ARM8 and even with AP shrugs off the other 2 bullets and fail them guts to not take another haha. intruder shoots and puts a wound on the mk5 who falls prone to full cover. his tomcat comes on near the 2 morlocks. the 2 morlocks are surviving and getting deep into my left side. thank everything i have camo markers and marut nearby so im not too worried haha. my turn 2: marut maneuvers to kill the moran. then the zero annoying repeater, ADH launching dude. wanted to climb a building with marut to shoot up some of his guys but nate kindly reminded me that morans are repeaters which i forgot lying next to the building... so i decided thats a bad idea lol. instead played cautious and went into suppression. he had 1 of the consoles i had none at this point so we had to start making the run third turn. nate's third turn: he tapped an objective(2-0 him at this point) with the zero then he tried to bring the AHD zero into obvious position to take my marut. i discovered with marut and revealed my naga boarding shotgun in desperation to take shots at it. oh all his morlocks perished to marut suppressive fire with impetuous. i got super lucky and beat the zero in f2f and that put nate is desperation mode. tried to take a last shot with the moira and whiffed while the naga ducked down. im prrrrreettttty sure my boarding shotgun naga might be my lucky charm in most my games haha. my third turn: moved mk2 out of hidden to tap one side. moved mk5 from other side to tap the other one. puts us tied on consoles. cloak the prone naga. run the naga behind the objective room. run it in the room to take its points. nate and I have Im prettty sure just exchange games every time it seems! dang good player. Gonna miss playing against everyone here. kinda hurts... ill definitely try to make ofcc each year if i can though! hope to also make it by the club on sunday to say goodbye.

Necro this just to announce the final fun! 1. Evan 14 TP 2. Adam 13 TP 3. Than 12 TP It was prrrrettty darn close. Adam and Than tied the last game against each other and Evan went hulk mode to charge into the lead! Honestly this league everyone was pretty close on points with noone having lower than 8 TP! Also happy it was settled by TP cause averaging OP due to the byes is something I didnt want to math haha. Everyone that showed up tonight got some goodies so that made me happy! Nate Kapke is pondering trying to see if people want to keep playing on Mondays and take over for me. Hoping he does as Guardian finally has some infinity terrain now haha. My takeaway is this: ITS structure for escalation league is great. Think people worry a bit too much about the dabble in smaller points but really you play half your games at 300 and you hit 200 by week 3 so I think its pretty decent. Really like the new scenerios HS brings. Engineering deck might be my actual favorite just because it makes you think a bit about what points you go after. Tic Tac Toe is kinda fun too. Didnt get to play firefight but the panplies I heard were apparently crazy. Rescue is one we didnt actually play but I do think its intriguing. As for time, think 2 weeks seems about right but even then it seems people struggled with their schedules a bit. That will always be the challenge with the ITS league as you really cant get it to work online with more than 1 bye person per week.

had my first a few months ago. rebots which had two front right legs haha. its super easy. like i followed instructions exactly how online and i had the piece in a little over a week. they are very awesome about it. oh this might be more helpful haha. you just take a pic of it and follow instructions here: http://infinitytheforums.com/forum/topic/18901-missing-pieces-complaint-codes-tutorial/

oh man this makes me want to necro some old Wiley posts from ~1 year ago LOLz. but nah good for you for organizing stuff down there for AoS. Think the new turn by GW is going to catch on to those that were in limbo...

first off, templates always give you a dodge or change facing option. -3 if outside lof (change facing). big reason for this ruling/changing in N3 is just how insanely powerful chain rifles were and guided missiles. they are still amazingly good just not stupid. but yea you always get a change facing if inside zoc or hit by a template outside lof. only time you dont get a reaction is if outside of lof, zoc and NOT a template. i say this for weapon purpose only fwiw(not talking about stealth which can negate zoc option unless they do an action besides move). imo i think its still very powerful. change facing, as exile stated, is still an unlikely situation as most things fail. i think its a choice more than anything as it makes doing a chain rifle not an auto-do but more pending if you can get ~3 dudes in it as 2 will probably fail which would be worthwhile. otherwise pop um in the back with a regular gun outside 8 and no reaction...

agreed about the exclusion zone. i knew when nate picked second i basically lost unless i could get my sensor bot up there(couldnt thanks to atalanta besting my one option to kill her and she trapped the bot). its very 'tact-less' imo and probably my least favorite mission due to that. half the reason why i picked aleph was for doing that TO infiltration trick on that mission... as for games. lets get one more in before i go if we can. re-do that decapitation mission to give it a fair ending...

Against Adam I missed 4 straight trinity hacks in a row.. that's 12 dice btw lol. It was pretty funny. You Than and Adam are neck and neck final week... Should be interesting!

3.5 weeks of PTO i think i can make it work haha. maybe drag some iowans with me if i can muster it. also if CB comes out with a fantasy game. miiiiight be playing that haha. ill try and make one last game night. probably a week from sunday is my goal.
